With engaging information and absorbing images, this book is perfect for children to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories. This is a terrific information book about animals targeting 8 to 10 year olds with straightforward and accessible text and a constrained amount of information on each animal - two paragraphs + an interesting or unusual fact set out in different and bold font to match the heading. The first paragraph on each animal tends to focus on interesting or unique characteristics, the second provides information about habits, habitat, food etc - varying with each animal. I really, truly believe that the illustrations of a book is a HUGE make-or-break moment. And this makes it. It makes it perfect. This is a high-quality hardcover book with gorgeous gilded elements and a ribbon bookmark, and it introduces kids to a variety of different animals through vivid photographs, drawings, and about two paragraphs of text about each animal. This will appeal to animal enthusiasts of different ages, with older kids reading all of the text to themselves and younger ones listening to a read-aloud or just looking at the pictures. There are details related to predatory animals that could scare very young, sensitive kids, but the general concepts are simple enough for little ones to understand.
